Almond butter is made near here.. an alternative for those who have peanut allergies.

The basic recipe to make peanut butter is peanuts, salt, and if needed a little bit of oil, blend until creamy. spread on.. well whatever you want.

Every time I have done it after a week or so the oil starts coming to the top.

On my first boat, in the mid-1970s, on long runs we carried PB in #6 cans (about the size of a 1-pound jar). One time I caught a messcook about to throw away 4 cans that had started to separate. He thought it was bad. I told him to get a knife and stir it back in. Probably saved his butt (Leading cook was my roommate back in Pearl). As I recall, it took him a loooooooong time to qualify.
